One thing about where we live in Sunset Country is if you like to spend time in the outdoors, there isn’t a much better place to be. In fact, you couldn’t pay me to live anywhere else. I just love everything about Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake too […]

One thing about where we live in Sunset Country is if you like to spend time in the outdoors, there isn’t a much better place to be. In fact, you couldn’t pay me to live anywhere else. I just love everything about Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake too […]
When the Kenora Bass International tournament began back in 1988, I don’t think that Doug Bishop and the rest of his crew who started the event really pictured what the Harbourfront in Kenora would look like on the second weekend in August a quarter-century later. I do know that they […]
This weekend is going to be a special one for bass anglers across the region as the Shaw Kenora Bass International tournament starts tomorrow (Aug. 9) on Lake of the Woods. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Sunset Country’s original bass tournament. When the KBI started back in 1988, […]
Anglers from all over North America converged on Rainy Lake last week for the 18th-annual Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship presented by Sunset Country Ford.

The 12th-annual “Castin’ for Cash” bass tournament took place this past weekend and it was another successful event. Put on by Bill and Nell Godin, who own Lake Despair Lodge, this has become a very popular event with area anglers. It’s a fun chain of lakes to fish and the […]
This is always one of my favourite weeks of the year. The first week in July is significant because bass tournament season is here. It’s no secret that I live for fishing these events. Big or small, I love the competition and I really enjoy the camaraderie with all the […]
The best thing about working on this fishing show that I have teamed up to do with CJBN is that it encourages me to fish more different places. The reality is there isn’t a lot of reason to leave Sunset Country or even Lake of the Woods or Rainy Lake, […]
Anglers from across Sunset Country converged on Dryden over the weekend for the Shaw Dryden Walleye Masters tournament on Wabigoon Lake. It was a Father’s Day to remember Sunday for the Dryden duo of Michael and Stephen Cortens as the father and son captured the 23rd edition of the tournament. […]
With all the great weather we’ve had recently, it’s safe to say that summer is here. Hopefully, everybody has been able to get out on the water and take in some of the great fishing we have across the Sunset Country region. I spend most of my days in June […]
